is there any way to close the windows/glass roof without hold the fob button? although the KOMFORT_SCHLIESSEN save 1.5s for me already

Not that I know of. You have to hold it (fob or CA) the whole time the windows/roof are moving. Only the mirror folding works as a toggle. You don't have to keep the button pushed to have the mirrors fold in or out.

Tested this morning, confirm with the pressing throughout... and it first closes the window, then the sunroof... so it's going to be a good 20 second press

Hi, can anyone give me some insight here?
i tried coding my car just now and everything is fine until i click "code FDL"
the pop up comes up and it goes through the process but in the i keep on getting this error:

Whats the cause for this?
i tried coding amber delete and key fob close windows/sunroof and this got this message
any help would be great thanks!

I posted about this about a week+ back. You can use 3.18. Just use an older version and just move the missing CAFD files you need from 48.3. If needed you you want 12_11_505 just move and replace the files in the kiswb folder with those from 48.3 too It's a working workaround.

I finally got down to coding after much delay, and working through what i think was some corruption in the older psdz data I had. Anyway after updating to 3.22.5, 48.3 set all was good. I just coded the following:

Some feedback in case it helps anyone. It went well, but with a major scare to start:

don't hesitate to use the search function in E-Sys, sometimes there is a long list of options to look at.

Keep the engine running. My first attempt was a huge panic after the car decided to time out on the half-on setting (accesssory I guess, key press, engine not running- I got carried away on an exploration and decided to code on the spot. Because I was sitting in the passenger seat I was too lazy to move around to push in the clutch to start the car. Yes, that was stupid.). So things shut down during the write process. Corruption again. Fortunately exact instructions to recover from this are earlier in this thread. Thanks Shawn! I got really worried for a bit because I couldn't get anything to connect to the car immediately after. After testing my cable, no problem found, I could connect again. Maybe a 10 min rest was necessary?

I was wondering what would happen after coding the KOMBI module with the GPS clock synch. As predicted the car wanted a new input for time. I put something random in, and 10 secs later it self corrected to the right time. That was nice!

My car has F020 12-11-504, so it turns out I could have worked with the old standard 3.18 E-sys, but regardless I'm content with the newer one and paid token.

Next projects are to look at the bluetooth/album cover art things, and look into the speed limit recognition. I have the lane departure cameras, so likely a software only path to success there, plus the activation fee. Anyone have experience with speed limit?

hello kon, awhk, clarence (and shawn if you want to get into the mix),

got swamped recently and finally came back to the coding community. surprised that so many things have changed, you know what i mean about the new security and token stuff.

up to day, the top thing on my wish list is till enabling asian language support - like you guys and i believe many other people have been trying so hard to achieve. My F30 is a UK spec built in Mar 2012 but for media I use Simplified Chinese as primary language (you can't blame my musical taste) and I have long fed up with the squares and question marks, also they show up on the contacts and messages too.

After some researching and coding myself, my opinion about this is still bound to the locale settings, i.e. region or country settings somewhere. I understand that kon mentioned about the missing chinese font, my argument on this is on a software architecture point of view (my day job is this) it makes no sense not to enable utf8 support and include the relevant font in the system, as otherwise bmw will end up maintaining many code basis and releases branches for this system which will be an absolute pain in the ass for bmw themselves. if they deliberately want to disable asian language support for europen config cars (which again makes no sense, this is one globe why couldn't they think about it - there must be asian language users anywhere) they would do it on a "configurable" way, pretty much like the idea of VO codes.

There is a proof about this theory. If you have 6NR and can use BMW Apps on your iPhone, try download and use AUPEO! and listen to a chinese pop station. Surprisingly you will notice all of a sudden your CIC displays Chinese Traditional!! (see pic). If CIC doesn't have the font this wouldn't happen.

For the reason why this AUPEO! app could somehow invoke chinese display I have no idea, but we can see that it is not impossible.

As I have not been rolling my sleeves and doing coding for a while now, my next attempt is to try removing country code and see if there is any luck on a UK f30. I will report back.

The intention of this post is just to bring this discussion back, as I believe once this is working it will help a lot of people, including myself.

Any suggestion welcome. TIA!

AWHK & Clarence doesn't have CIC to play with, they don't have nav - they either have Champ/Champ2/Business Radio which behave differently, and luckily for them they could already display Asian font.

Now, for Singapore owner like me, we effectively have the same spec as you guys in the UK (right hand drive), minus 6NR & BMW Assist.

The last thing I wanted to try, but haven't got the chance to do it still, was to disable all 12 (or was it 15) european language and move english_UK as language 1, then add chinese, korean & japanese as language 2 to 5.

If changing this and somehow you can make the asian font visible in the idrive language selection screen, means we have a go (perhaps you also have to change the country settings from ECE to HongKong, China or Taiwan), but my gut feel is if you cannot see the langugage selection displayed correctly, chances are you will only get a blank menu screen that we got earlier.

I did read however the F10 guys did manage to change the kombi/cluster language to asian language. Unfortunately this is not something we can change in idrive. Meaning although the kombi will show all warning & message in Chinese, idrive still display everything in English or squares

Of course it is interesting why Aupeo would show Chinese. You can probably further test this with "ipod mode" (part of BMW apps that allow ipod native view) see if it works. I'm just wondering if Aupeo chinese font works because of another technology like mirrorlink screen dump or is it really displaying native font.

I'm no way in technology line like you, I'm a cashier by profession, so you probably fare better than me

You can download/read coding data of all the ECU and go back to your desk (without connected to the vehicle) to check all existing settings. Of course you won't be able to code, but definitely beats sitting in/near the car to figure things out while draining the car batt/fuel/gas

I only time I see the car shutting down is when you have the engine running, then press the start button once to turn off the engine (ACC mode?), after a preset time everything will shut down on it's own.

If you get in the car and press the start engine button once (without pressing brake for cars with auto transmission), i haven't seen it shutting down despite leaving it there > 30 minutes. But I'm concious that the battery will drain so I make sure I off the DRL, mute the music, off all car interior lighting, etc
